Here is the NFL.com Draft Profiles for the Aggies. I have included the grade they are given with the correlating "title" for the grade. Obviously all of this is pre-combine, but I would be interested to hear yalls take. All play profiles can be found Here

Cam Clear 6'6 277 pounds
Grade: 4.98 (Should be in an NFL training camp)

quote:

---

STRENGTHS Looks the part. Massive frame with an ability to carry almost 300 pounds, according to area scouts. Flashes adequate athleticism in routes. Has shown adequate ability to sustain run blocks and help win the edge. Able to contribute on special teams.

WEAKNESSES Struggled to find playing time and production in Texas A&M offense. Despite talent, inconsistent as a blocker. Had good, sustained run-blocking reps against Arkansas' Trey Flowers early in the season, and then looked passive and lost after that point. Dismissed from Tennessee in 2012 after being arrested and charged with felony theft. He later plead guilty to an amended charge of misdemeanor theft. Concerns are routinely expressed in scouting circles when it comes to Clear's personal character and weight.

SOURCES TELL US "The Aggies tried to feature him in the game plan against Alabama and he looked absolutely lost on tape. I think his weight is going to be an issue for him and I just don't think he's tough enough to play in our league." -- AFC area scout

BOTTOM LINE JUCO transfer considered to be a player with personal and football character issues by those in the know. Rumor has it some teams are considering Clear for a conversion to tackle, but the tape doesn't present a player who is physical enough to handle that switch. With almost no production to fall back on, Clear's best shot could be as a camp invite.

Deshazor Everett 6'0 193 Pounds
Grade 5.23 (NFL Backup or special teams potential

quote:

---

STRENGTHS Plays extremely hard. Loves to hit and eats glass out on the field. Good strength to press and reroute at the line of scrimmage. Ball skills need work, but he has good hands. Will play through injuries and compete at a consistent level. Got hurt against Arkansas but played through it and made winning tackle late in game. Didn't always use it, but has football intelligence. Will face up and tackle running backs on the perimeter. Has core special-teams ability. Played safety his junior season.

WEAKNESSES Has stiff hips and struggles to mirror and match wide receiver movements. Won't turn and find ball consistently when back is to the play. Undisciplined. Freelances way too much. Failed to improve as a player after sophomore season. Offenses attacked him for touchdowns. Terrible tape against Auburn and Missouri -- looked undraftable. Allows wide receivers to get on top of him too quickly and can't matchup against vertical speed. Might be labeled as a zone-only corner due to bad man-to-man tape and technique.

SOURCES TELL US "I've always liked his toughness and aggressiveness, but he's just way too reckless. On tape you see him bust his coverage just to try and peek in on another receiver's route." -- Scout and former NFL wide receiver

NFL COMPARISON Marcus RobersonBOTTOM LINE Has competed against outstanding talent during his time in the Big 12 and SEC. Based on tape, he's on the draft fringe. His desire to be the hero might severely hamper his draft stock, but his ability as a hitter and special-teams player should get Everett a look from a zone-based defense. If he can add bulk, safety might be his fallback position.

Jarvis Harrison 6'4 330 pounds
Grade: 5.68 (Chance to become an NFL starter)

quote:

---

STRENGTHS Burly lower body made for the guard position. High school basketball player who displays rare foot quickness for a man his size. Glides to second level using proper angles. Utilizes power step to shut down inside moves. Has feet and balance to mirror in pass pro pre- and post-contact. Maintains good posture at punch point. Comfortable finding and hitting targets in space. Technically sound in run game and pass pro. Has filled in at tackle and might have swing potential in a pinch.

WEAKNESSES Allows more bull-rush push than most guards his size. Will finesse it too often. Hasn't unleashed consistent power that his bend and size should provide him. Shows signs of being a content blocker who won't always finish. Had offseason shoulder surgery. Head coach benched him for first two games due to conditioning concerns. Scouting community has questions about his desire to work hard and manage weight.

SOURCES TELL US "I believe he has Pro Bowl caliber talent, but his work ethic is a major concern for me. I know he loves basketball, but not sure if he feels the same about football. The talent? That's a given. He's really, really talented." -- AFC scouting director

NFL COMPARISON Kelechi Osemele

BOTTOM LINE Dancing bear who possesses the talent, technique and physical traits to be a high-end NFL starter. Not asked to fire out on defenders often in Texas A&M scheme, so that might be an area where he has room for growth. Teams might have to decide between the film and the football character when slotting him.

---

Cedric Ogbuehi 6'5 305 pounds
Grade: 5.9 (Chance to become an NFL Starter)

quote:

---

STRENGTHS Gifted athlete with foot quickness and ability to move easily in space. Has feet to slide and meet speed rushers. Easy weight shift to recover against counter moves. Is a second-level winner. Gets on top of linebackers quickly and can adjust in space to moving targets. Played in warp-speed offense and is well-conditioned. Keeps feet moving through contact on zone plays and sustains blocks until he wins. On gap plays, works to secure inside shoulder and gets defenders turned. Has played both tackle spots and right guard. Has matched up against premier college defensive linemen.

WEAKNESSES Functional power and anchor are legitimate concerns. Technique flaws make pass protection harder than it has to be. Football leverage isn't as good as expected. Doesn't play with enough bend at impact. His punch in pass pro can be woefully mistimed and he plays with wide hands and some wasted motion in setup. Base tends to narrow when pass rush gets to his high side. Not a powerful tackle and won't generate much push as in-line blocker. Was one of the SEC leaders in sacks allowed in 2014.

NFL COMPARISON Eugene Monroe

BOTTOM LINE NFL evaluators are very worried about Ogbuehi's core strength and ability to anchor in pass protection, but some of his anchor issues could be improved with technique work -- especially where his hands are concerned. He should be a plus run blocker, especially on stretch plays, but needs to add strength and work on technique if he is to reach his play potential. Based on his traits and his position, he will likely get drafted on projection over production.

Trey Williams 5'8 195 pounds
Grade: 5.24 (NFL Backup or special teams potential)

quote:

---

STRENGTHS Features a devastating jump-cut that torments defenders in space. One of the best "make-you-miss" types in this draft. Improvisation-oriented athlete in space. Able to change directions at a moment's notice and multiple times during one play. Great vision. Looks past first move and focuses on second move. Instant burst through the crease to the third level. Ran for 15-plus yards on 13.6 percent of his carries over the last two years. Can be shuffled around the field as a mismatch weapon. Was a kick returner for all three years at A&M.

WEAKNESSES Very slightly built runner. More of an "offensive weapon" than a true running back. Ran as an off-set back from shotgun. Is seen frequently looking for the sideline with ball in his hands. Little to no strength as a runner. Can't break tackles and churn out extra yardage. When defenses get hands on him, the play is over. Too small to be factor as pass blocker. Benefited from running out of spread offense, allowing him to see his share of six-man boxes.

SOURCES TELL US "He will have to prove to NFL teams that he can work from the slot, too. If he can show that he has value from the slot to go with an occasional carry and full-time kick return responsibilities, then he adds to his value." -- NFC East scout

NFL COMPARISON De'Anthony ThomasBOTTOM LINE All-purpose running back with an ability to hit big plays from time to time, but no value as an every-down player. Some teams might view Williams as a luxury talent with minimal value due to his lack of size and natural position fit, while other teams will see him as a chess piece that they can deploy to create mismatches and use to stress defenses. His kick-return ability adds value, but there's likely a ceiling on just how highly he will be drafted.

Good stuff. Anything on Malcom Kennedy?

What does that even mean? Well, I get what it means, but it's a stupid idiom.

I think Deshazor could make a really good safety, but no way he makes it as a corner in the league. If he put all his time and energy to prepare as a safety, he's got a solid shot at making a roster IMO.

No, which I find kind of weird. There are some players they have profiles on that don't have much (at least in my opinion) a chance of getting an invitation even, and they don't even have all players that were invited to the combine. They have 4 Kickers, but no Lambo. It might be possible that more get added on later after pro days and all

Great read. Pro scout evaluations of Harrison and Ogbuehi show why it was so important to get coach Christensen here for the OL. It's always difficult to read about players who pro scouts don't think reached their potential. Shows the real need for depth to push players to get better.

The "lack of power" or strength comments are concerning about Harrison and Ced. Not sure if that's because of poor technique (which we know Anderson was teaching them), S&C, or self-motivation in terms of eating right and following the training plan.

Lance is a sip fan, but usually does a good job.

Trey could be a great fit in New England.

I hadn't thought of that before, but I agree. With Ridley and Vareen both being FAs he could certainly fill the Vareen role as a pass catching RB for them

"Features a devastating jump-cut that torments defenders in space."


Damn right

Just reaffirms that our talent losses are pretty minimal this year

Trey could be a great fit in New England.

As a patriot fan....no. Just no. He does not fit at all with anything Belicheck has shown to want in a running back.

The prototypical New England Running back?

Ben Jarvis-Green Ellis. Never fumbled. Great pass block support who could shift into space for a screen or check-down route. Fought for yardage after contact. Punishing.


No offense to Trey, but he needs to be in a Detroit or New Orleans style offense. A team that utilizes a Reggie Bush or Percy Harvin type back to create mismatches.

Excellent post, thanks for sharing.

RE Cam Clear, I think that scout's take is an excellent answer to the frequent fan complaint of "why aren't we using Cam more?". I think it's one case where the hype and the potential never really became a reality, either at Tennessee or at A&M. And that's nothing against Cam, it just doesn't pan out for everyone.

Best of luck to all these Ags. Maybe with some NFL coaching they'll all have an opportunity to reach their potential, like Michael Bennett in Seattle.

I'm also a Pats fan. Your analysis is outdated. The BJGE-type RB is no longer the type Belichick wants. He wants to cycle through a stable of RBs, with pass catching RBs (like Vereen) and then bruisers (Blount). So if Vereen is gone, Trey could fit.

Great post and comments. I appreciate the excellent ,responses and I agree with the analyisis. Its does get old seeing almost every prospect not being near potential

I disagree.

Why else did Blount & Gray see so much play time late in the season.

Shanne Vereen is a pass catching specialist in that he is a great pass blocking support running back first and someone who can be the checkdown outlet valve second.

They're not looking for Vereen to be the guy who takes a screen pass to the house every play. He's an outlet valve when the defense is showing the downfield throw is going to be taken away by the play of the safeties.

I think you are undervaluing the fact that Belichick, like most good coaches, tailors his schemes to best exploit the opposing defenses. That is why Blount and Gray saw a lot of time late. That said, if Trey could improve his pass protecting a bit, I think he'd fit into the role you ascribe to Vereen nicely. I don't think he belongs as a feature back, and I don't think anyone does. But he is a great fit in the evolving pass-catching RB/slot WR role. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I'd have to agree with you on this. I would say he is too stiff and slow for CB but he could definitely play FS.

I could see Trey being similar to Darren Sproles. Limited rushing attempts to keep teams honest when he is in the backfield, but is mostly a guy to catch out of the backfield or move out to the slot. Also has experience in KR and PR similar to what Sproles does.

I agree with this.

Sproles is definitely who Williams needs to be working to get to be. Realisitically, that's gonna be his ceiling.

Trouble with guys like that, they have to be in the right systems. Williams as a 4-6 rd pick to NO would be ideal for him.

Trey reminds me more of Dante Hall. Extremely quick but not much after initial contact. Sproles is so compact, he is sometimes hard to bring down. Especially in college at KSU.
